About Me

I am a writer, photographer and I play the odd game of golf. My current love is writing and I particularly like to write short stories. As you can see most of my posts are related to writing, competitions and tutorials. I have found that my writing has improved immensely over the past few years thanks to author Bernie McGill of 'The Butterfly Cabinet' fame. My hat is off to her. Most of my writing stuff can be found on http://www.seanocarolan.com or follow me on twitter.
